>A 15-year-old gained access to plans for intelligence operations in Afghanistan and Iran by pretending to be the head of the CIA to gain access to his computers, a court has heard.

>From the bedroom of the Leicestershire home he shared with his mother, Kane Gamble used “social engineering” – where a person builds up a picture of information and uses it manipulate others into handing over more – to access the personal and work accounts of some of America's most powerful spy chiefs .

>The teenager persuaded call handlers at an internet giant that he was John Brennan, the then director of the CIA, to gain access to his computers and an FBI helpdesk that he was Mark Giuliano, then the agency’s Deputy Director, to re-gain access to an intelligence database.

There is still some hope for Britain after all. If these agencies could get over their butthurt, they’d be wise to recruit him instead of punish him for embarrassing them

...

He did it all with social engineering too. No actual hacking.

CIA niggers BTFO by superior anglos.

it says he downloaded porn onto their computers in the article

it says he also gave John Brennan's emails to wikileaks.

#FREEPALESTINE

ok?

If this is possible, and they arrested 2 American's with no involvement, then literally nothing the intelligence community says can be trusted.

He wuz a blac men no dubt

>He used social engineering on others to achieve his goals.

So its ok for the media and government to do it, but not others?
Oy Vey!

kek

This is just sad. Aren't these guys supposed to be a secret intellegence agency.

He was a leftist, and he has probably put American citizens and security/military personnel at risk.

I hope he gets a long prison sentence.

Part of me has to wonder if they fake this to make people think they're incompetent... Seems a little beyond belief that this kid just called the old NSA Help Desk and got a bunch of info no problem..

No, a central intelligence agency.

>search criteria; Gamble CWA ~attitude
>good stuff

>leftist
Leave it to the kike shill to bring politics into this. Fuck Israel.

noice pepe

How can cunts even buy into this shit?
Fuck it, i'm out, eat up your propaganda you gullible fools

fo realz muh nigga

>we are duh super badass intel operators hur dur
>get BTFO by some teenage chav
OH NO NO NO NO
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!

>This is just sad.
Heh. See all those kids who sit at the other lunch table? They're with the FSB. They pretend to be cool and laugh at us but it's all an act. We won't let them come to our meet ups where we watch MLP and do cosplay.

Our government is 100% stupid enough to let something like this happen so it's certainly plausible.

this kid was probably bored and wanted to see how far he could take this. he definitely didn't just ring up NSA. Anyone who does this spends a bit of time on their targets.
>watches tons of videos of the people he wants to impersonate. practice their accents, speech patterns, phrases they use.
>find out everything about their life. pets, wife,
kids, address, car, banks, cell provider, etc.
Man I could keep going but this kid definitely spent some time researching his targets if he really did pull this off. I've watched plenty of defcon talks about this sort of thing, the info is out there to anyone.
>Part of me has to wonder if they fake this to make people think they're incompetent...
You'd be amazed how bad OPSEC is at most places. They drill it into these $15 hour tier one people that are in help desk, physical security, and receptionists that they have to abide by strict rules for granting access/password resets/giving information. All that shit goes out the window if you can pull off being someone just superior enough they don't know them in person but know who they are & you are pissed off and "in a rush".
Checkout this video user. It's a fun watch about this dudes after hours gig of trying to break into offices/steal shit/get information.

Wake up. This will be the excuse on the day of the rope. Read the details - they will muddle the lines on who was hacked vs harassed. It will make evidence suspect. Do you think we would have heard about this case otherwise???

he was a piece of shit and put americans at risk
are you aware the entire cia spy ring in china was killed off? do you like communists? do you like seeing american patriots die? shut the fuck up, the only kike on here is you. the faggot was a leftist, and you're one too.

tbf, the CIA is full of mentally ill transvestite faggots and they're probably still running drug trials on random agents and fucking their brains. I can see this happening.

CIAniggers blown the fuck out

Perfidious Albion.

If the CIA helpdesk is so retarded, do you think chinese, jews or russians havent used this infiltration angle to cause a lot more damage?

You should count your lucky stars that it was a teenager who exposed your shitty security, instead of some fucking turban who would actually have plans to leak and destroy shit.

I think intel services should welcome all attempts of skript kiddies trying to attack them, since they are least maliciious of all attackers, and other than a public embarrasment, you are going to suffer little else for exposing, and fixing a new vulnerability.

FUCK ISRAEL

>CIA
>American patriots
They don't give a single fuck about us

And don't forget they still can't figure out if the Russians hacked the election or what's on hillary's bathroom server.

FEAR US WORLD
WE HAVE TOTAL CYBERDOMINANCE

>If the CIA helpdesk is so retarded, do you think chinese, jews or russians havent used this infiltration angle to cause a lot more damage?
Why bother when they can just get one of their agents hired on as a CIA employee. US OPSEC is pretty laughable in general which is why we leak like a sieve on everything from F-35 technical data, NSA program files, to documents for everyone had a security clearance background check.

nytimes.com/2018/01/16/us/politics/cia-china-mole-arrest-jerry-chun-shing-lee.html

Israel is the #1 enemy of mankind. Every other country is trying to undermine each other. Israel is trying to destroy civilization.

Is gen z truly /ourguys/?

social engineering is hacking

Absolutely mad lad!
The guy who wrote Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy criticized the CIA and the MI6, he said their "business model" was unsustainable because too many people (more than 1 million in the US alone) have access to classified information.
It's ridiculous, you can give so much power to so many people and expect an efficient work.

The fucking Mad Man!

I think so, too. There's no way this is real. The people the hire for the intel jobs are not low iq random people.

There is no difference between the manipulation of information in „machine“ networks and in „human“ networks. It’s both „hacking“.

PLS edit BANE mask on it.

>are you aware the entire cia spy ring in china was killed off?
PROOF????
Since when do states kill spies without it leading to war?

Wake me up when some nork lands Cessna on the white house lawn,

A major problem for the US is first generation immigrants(or even second) aren't considered liabilities if they take trivial measures to "mitigate" the fact that they weren't even born here and have the majority of their extended family back in another country. This is just a symptom of the larger problem of the US as a nationless state occupied by consumers with no identity or loyalty beyond simple economics.

i think that hacking laws relay on claims to financial loss or breaking machines

Well that washes the act down to such retardation that accessing your friends facebook while he goes for a piss can be considered "hacking"

>If these agencies could get over their butthurt, they’d be wise to recruit him

what he just did is a typical NSA application

>CIA niggers BTFO by superior anglos.
well you guys invented our intelligence apparatus, don't think thats anything to be proud of

Most "spies" are foreign nationals that feed info to their handler who is actually employed by the spy agency who generally pose as diplomats and have diplomatic immunity in case they're discovered. If China kills a Chinese national for espionage it's not the US government's problem beyond losing an informant.

There is no difference between germans and turks.

>do you think chinese, jews or russians havent used this infiltration angle to cause a lot more damage?
yes, they do this by walking into CIA headquarters and claiming to be a defector, then they feed us 20 years of useless lies we spend billions trying to figure out it was nothing

Total utter shit. Iran, North Korea, etc., are afraid to kill us informants and spies. There is no way in hell China does it. At most they capture them, ridicule them and send them away.

Look at all tthe random flags in this thread. The Jews are who got exposed.

>The people the hire for the intel jobs are not low iq random people.
remember when George W Bush hired the first name he saw on a pile for head of Homeland Security and the bitch had a MIT degree on her rez but turns out she was faking it and had no degree, but don't worry we didn't fire her, that would have be a bad moment for W

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

>Since when do states kill spies without it leading to war?
since forever

into the stupidity of wage monkeys

Don't buy into that crap. It's disinformation as usual. The US would collapse if the leadership was so easy to misinform, mislead, whatever.

This isn't world war 2, kiddo.

Expanding brain

yes but losing a credible informant with verified bone fides is a big fucking deal

>There is no way in hell China does it.
they can have a guy on top of a US based agent inside ten minutes anywhere in the country

ASBOLUTELY BASED AUTISM

Literally a legend. The rest of you should be ashamed at your indolence.
US BTFO by one autist.

youtu.be/BSuAgw8Lc1Y

I found him

...

Kinda. Shockingly, computers rarely have useful vulnerabities unless you convinrlce a retard to install something.

>yes but losing a credible informant with verified bone fides is a big fucking deal
Yes it is, but it's not starting a war big deal. Spooks have their own ways of doing reprisals anyway.

This is a US "spy" (claims to be South African but he works for the US) in China.
He has been caught taking pictures of Chinese military bases and other important areas.
The Chinese are also constantly keeping an eye on him, as he says himself.
Yet, China does nothing.

Is this the all-mighty deep state that we are supposed to be afraid of? It's a bunch of literal retards.

All those hollywood movies about corruption and organized crime with lots of men of money and power are just to decive us.

Remember, we outmatch them in every way possible, they are afraid of ua, not the other way around.

>The US would collapse if the leadership was so easy to misinform, mislead, whatever.
they are that easy to mislead but that misdirection doesn't buy you much if that makes any sense

>This isn't world war 2, kiddo.
yeah thats kind of where this started, when the KGB murdered this guy Krivitsky, we were never able to prove it was murder because there were so many KGB established within the government already

USA was slow to respond to soviet espionage

Nigger are you kidding me? What leadership? Nobody who looks like they're in charge is in charge. We get all you lesser countries to do what we want by bullying you with our money and our military, it has nothing to do with being smart.

U wot m8?

was getting caught all apart of his plan?

>they can have a guy on top of a US based agent inside ten minutes anywhere in the country
What did you mean by this?

He's a liar.

If you hire on merit then yes.
But if you don't recruit the best from all spheres of society you just get networks of mates kids and their mates and it becomes as bad as a shit company or shit beauracracy

>Spooks have their own ways of doing reprisals anyway.
mostly they send you their best agent, who then tells you he wants to defect, and starts handing you information of a highly sensitive nature that will certainly earn you a promotion

You people are so gullible and misinformed with popular media. The world does not work like you think it does.

he just had to post durka durka praise allah, Brennan is a practicing radicalized muslim commie so it was easy to fool the muslims into believing it was him.

Depends on the country. But there are also laws against accessing any „protected“ computers (or goverment computers) without authorization. However this is all highly legalistic and dubious in many cases. You can always say authorization is something you have per defition, if you are in the networt. So basically it’s about creating a legal fiction of authorization, where the some „legal entity“ most authorize you to be in the network and really want it that way (not only be tricked into really wanting). In the end the one with the monopoly of violence in a certain territory will in most cases decide his way (if it isn’t hacked too), so if there isn’t somebody else with a monopoly of violence in another territory protecting the „hacker“ the cards are stacked against him, if he is found out.

not in this case. doing stuff like this amounts to what is called "computer theft", at least here in the united states. it doesn't mean that you physically stole something, but it is illegal access or use of a computer via electronic communication or means. unless he was selling whatever information he got a hold of, he wouldn't be charged with any financial or punitive losses.

A liar? He has been arrested numerous times as well as having had police/agents come to his house and search it

>There is no difference between the manipulation of information in „machine“ networks and in „human“ networks. It’s both „hacking“.

So if he was right-wing he;d be fine?
Kys hypo

Yeah that's the one.

Because he's a weirdo making himself incredibly suspicious by doing things like taking pictures the Chinese don't want taken. Spies don't have fucking youtube channels where they talk about being spies. Use your god damned brain for once in your life.

true kek

Yeah you're right, I, a US veteran with a top secret clearance have less understanding of US handling of classified material than you, a fucking leaf

>What did you mean by this?


I heard there was a valuation Discrepancy and the Chinese had a busload of agents there in 10 minutes, they're killers and they have been taking notes a very long time

there is no way China has any fears of doing anything to disrupt the US, they're very much in a solid position and it seems nobody will ever have a chance to catch up to the US

>the super secret american government intelligence had top secret files stolen by a chav boy on a computer

This is fucking gold.

I INVOKE THE NAME OF MY GOD EMPEROR; FREE HIM FROM THE GLOBALIST TENTICLES!

>if you don't recruit the best from all spheres of society you just get networks of mates kids and their mates and it becomes as bad as a shit company or shit beauracracy
these guys follow the British version of nepotism, only elite sons from wealthy families need apply unless you have a special talent

but intelligence work has always been the realm of the wealthy
